What We Do

Our Mission

Often, many people make homeless people feel degraded, unwanted, and even invisible. Emma’s Winter Bundles mission is to do everything but that - we want to brighten the days of people living on the street or in shelters by handing out bags (bundles) filled with goods to help keep people warm in the harsh winters and have a full stomach. We want to show them that people care about them too. Additionally, we work with sports teams, community groups, and other volunteers to help them get involved, raise awareness about this ongoing crisis, and advocate for what more needs to be done to help resolve it.
